"It ain't right."

So this is where all the nit-pickers hang out! Hi, guys!
I posted this on IMDB, but no-one much noticed, so let's see what true Brokies might have to say:
Didn't you think it odd that there were no Bettermost Beans on any of the shelves in Monroe's grocery store? Given the fact that they featured prominently in the earlier mountain scenes, it would have been appropriate to have placed a stack of them somewhere in the background in that scene. I think this was definitely a missed opportunity on the part of the set-decoration crew. What do you think?

Wow! I'm glad you brought this up! I ALWAYS try to scan the shelves in the grocery store to see if I can find beans... and not even just BetterMost beans. I feel like I'd need a slow motion scanner to look really carefully. It seems like some of the cans that are visible might possibly be bean cans. But, I can't really tell.
My favorite background detail in the grocery store is the Jolly Green Giant sign that we see behind Monroe when he arrives to help with the broken peanuts. Somehow both the Jolly Green Giant and Monroe work to make each other seem even more ridiculous... if that makes any sense.

As long as you don't think the Jolly Green Giant has anything to do with a part of Monroe's anatomy. (You know ... Monroe is "green" with envy ... but he better not be jolly because he's giant ... if you know what I mean!! :laugh:

Personally, I'm not at all angry. And in fact, 2robots4u, that has been said before -- plenty of times!
People deal with the movie in different ways. The common denominator is that we all came here because we were interested enough in the movie to spend time and energy discussing it. Some like interpreting the symbols, some like analyzing the characters' motivations, some like figuring out the ambiguous parts, some like writing fan fic, some like drooling over Jake and Heath, some like discussing their own "real life" issues, some like forming a community with other Brokies, some like "picking out EVERY little inconsistency in the time line and story line," some like "enjoying the movie for the movie's sake" ... and so on.
Many people -- myself, for instance -- do more than one of the above. To each his/her own!
